Maybe a bit harsh, but I made my point.
Behind my unit is a gate which leads to the laundry.
On the opposite side of the driveway is an access gate from the car parking area to the units.
The young guy who lives in the unit across from me has a habit of leaving the laundry gate open.
Naturally, when the wind blows, the gate swings and bangs repeatedly on my wall.
I have
ASKED the offender to close the gate after use.
I have
TOLD him to close the gate after use.
His excuse is that he has his arms full of washing.
(So?... Put it down, and walk back 15 metres and close the gate?)
Last night at 6pm, he washed his laundry, (AND left the bloody gate open again!)
This morning, the wind started huffing, the gate started banging.
I got dressed at 3.45 am, and went outside.
1) I proceeded to bang the
access gate on
HIS wall until his lights went on...
...at which I hid behind the wheelie bins.
2) He came outside and put a rock against the gate to hold it against the wall, and returned inside.
... after a few minutes, the light went out, and he returned to bed.
I removed the rock, (Refer to above, step 1 again.)
This time when he came out, he secured the gate in the closed position.
...Then he heard the laundry gate banging in the breeze, so he walked around the back to close that gate as well.
I whipped into my unit, and scribbled on a piece of paper...
“Aggravating, isn’t it?”And slipped it under his door before he returned.....
